Hi Erick,
The wiki is a collaborative site that we host but the Guild Wars 2 community updates. You can learn about this on this page from the wiki:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Wars_2_Wiki:How_to_help
It’s very easy to update the page by yourself. If you do it without an account, your IP address will be logged as your “account name”, but I’d advise creating an account, it takes less than a minute to do so. If you don’t do it, I’m sure one of the editors could update the page but (as lordkrall mentions) it’s unlikely that they will do it, at least without a solid quote and phrasing this update without ambiguity. The articles of the wiki always try to emphasize accuracy and the need to provide source/evidence for information.
It’s actually one of the cool and often overlooked part of the wikis, where players get to discuss updating articles. They usually follow some basic rules (called “policies” and players get to decide them in the first place, you can read more about that here) and sometimes get to create new ones whenever appropriate.
There’s a big community of wiki editors that’s super friendly and helpful. Some editors even get to become “administrators” (sysops and bureaucrats) to help manage the wiki itself. Contrarily to popular belief, the wiki relies on a fairly big group of players, most of them doing small and occasional updates to various articles. The wiki is the sum of these numerous small updates with a fewer number of editors doing more frequent and in-depth updates.
Hope this helps!
